Software Engineer I

What You’ll Do

Hands-on Development

• Write, test, and deploy production-quality code with guidance from senior engineers.
• Build and maintain backend services in Node.js/TypeScript and contribute to React frontends as needed.
• Implement and support message-driven workflows (Kafka/RabbitMQ) using existing patterns and reusable components.
• Improve code quality and maintainability as you deliver features (tests, refactors, documentation).

Collaboration & Growth

• Partner with product and business stakeholders to clarify requirements in a complex domain.
• Participate in code reviews (both receiving and giving) and incorporate feedback quickly.
• Learn the team’s operational practices: monitoring, alerts, on-call support, and incident follow-ups.
• Grow ownership over time: take on increasingly complex tickets, then small projects.

What Excites Us About This Role

• As the Convoy platform expands into a critical marketplace for brokers, this team shapes outcomes that matter for broker workflows and reliability.
• High ownership with support: you’ll ship meaningful work while learning from senior engineers in a complex, real-world domain.
• Lots of surface area: integrations, workflows, payments, messaging, and partner-facing APIs.

The Skills and Experience You’ll Bring

• 2–5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent).
• Experience building production services in TypeScript/Node.js (or strong Java/C#/Go experience with willingness to ramp).
• Familiarity with React and modern frontend development fundamentals.
• Comfort working with APIs (REST preferred; GraphQL a plus) and collaborating on contracts.
• Familiarity with SQL databases (schema basics, writing queries, migrations with guidance).
• Exposure to async systems (queues/events) such as Kafka/RabbitMQ/SQS is a plus, or willingness to learn.
• Solid engineering fundamentals: debugging, testing, code quality, and clear written communication.

Bonus Skills

• Experience with microservices in production.
• Hands-on exposure to Kafka/RabbitMQ patterns (retries, DLQs, idempotency).
• Docker/Kubernetes familiarity.
• CI/CD experience (tests in pipeline, safe deploy patterns, feature flags).
• Background in transportation/logistics or complex B2B integrations.
